Black Barbie: A Documentary

This documentary centers the voices of the amazing hidden figures of Black Barbie. Great integration of the past and present doll experiment to show the ways that representation has increased self love for our black children while showing the continued room for progress.

This work was visually appealing with the Barbies and very informative. I appreciated the parallel of the timeline of Black Barbie in the context of many key historic times of Black people.

This documentary allowed me to experience a full range of emotions including pride, inspiration, anger, sadness and humor.

This work will leave you with much to think and talk about after the credits.
